All US scientists, and a growing list of scientists affiliated with international partners, have the opportunity to contribute now to the development of the LSST observing strategy and to precursor scientific studies.This broad astronomical community will also have equal access to all LSST transient alerts, data products and software. The LSST Town Hall will bring updates to the community on the activities and policies of the LSST Project (Beth Willman), LSST Corporation (Pat Eliason), and LSST Science Collaborations (Lucianne Walkowicz). This town hall will include emphasis on elucidating the complementary missions of these entities, highlighting ways for community members to get involved in LSST now, and soliciting community feedback.

This presentation describes the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope goals, the data products, the current status of construction and how to become involved.
